This report documents enhancements and updates that were made in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox Mar20111 to provide capabilities required to perform modeling for the Proposed Toxics Rule. Specifically, the capability to model HCl emissions and controls was added. Existing coal units were given the option to burn natural gas by investing in a coal-to-gas retrofit. The cost and performance assumptions were updated for Activated Carbon Injection (ACI), the emission control particularly designated for mercury emission reductions. In addition, updates were made to the tables of state regulations and NSR and state settlements to reflect changes that had occurred since the previous base case The current report takes the form of a supplement to the documentation report “Documentation for EPA Base Case v4.10 Using the Integrated Planning Model” (August 2010) that can be found on the web at www.epa.gov/airmarkets/progsregs/epa-ipm/BaseCasev410.html. Exhibit 1 contains an abbreviated version of the table of contents of the v4.10 Documentation. Additions and changes found in this Documentation Supplement are shown in red.

1 EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox Mar2011 refers to EPA’s application of the Integrated Planning Model (IPM) of the U.S. power sector that was developed and used in analysis of the Proposed Toxics Rule. For brevity it is often referred to as v4.10_PTox in subsequent pages of this documentation supplement. IPM® is a registered trademark of ICF International.

Notes:

1) Updates to the EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox from EPA Base Case 4.10 include the additions of the American Municipal Power settlement, the Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative settlement, a modification to the control requirements on the Mercer plant under the PSEG Fossil settlement, and an update to the SO2 emission modeling on Jeffrey Energy Center as part of the Westar settlement.

2) This summary table describes New Source Review settlement actions as they are represented in EPA Base Case. The settlement actions are simplified for representation in the model. This table is not intended to be a comprehensive description of all elements of the actual settlement agreements.

3) Settlement actions for which the required emission limits will be effective by the time of the first mapped run year (before 1/1/2012) are built into the database of units used in EPA Base Case ("hardwired"). However, future actions are generally modeled as individual constraints on emission rates in EPA Base Case, allowing the modeled economic situation to dictate whether and when a unit would opt to install controls versus retire.

4) Some control installations that are required by these NSR settlements have already been taken by the affected companies, even if deadlines specified in their settlement haven't occurred yet. Any controls that are already in place are built into EPA Base Case

5) If a settlement agreement requires installation of PM controls, then the controls are shown in this table and reflected in EPA Base Case. If settlement requires optimization or upgrade of existing PM controls, those actions are not included in EPA Base Case.

6) For units for which an FGD is modeled as an emissions constraint in EPA Base Case, EPA used the assumptions on removal efficiencies that are shown in the latest emission control technologies documentation

7) For units for which an FGD is hardwired in EPA Base Case, unless the type of FGD is specified in the settlement, EPA modeling assumes the most cost effective FGD (wet or dry) and corresponding 95% removal efficiency for wet and 90% for dry.

8) For units for which an SCR is modeled as an emissions constraint or is hardwired in EPA Base Case, EPA assumed an emissions rate equal to 10% of the unit's uncontrolled rate, with a floor of .06 lb/MMBtu or used the emission limit if provided.

9) The applicable low NOx burner reduction efficiencies are shown in Table A 3-1:3 in the Base Case documentation materials.

10) EPA included in EPA Base Case the requirements of the settlements as they existed on January 1, 2011.

11) Some of the NSR settlements require the retirement of SO2 allowances. EPA estimated the amount of allowances to be retired from these settlements and adjusted the total Title IV allowances accordingly.

Documentation Supplement to Chapter 5 (“Emission Control Technologies”) Chapter 5 covers a number of new capabilities incorporated in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox. Section 5.3 presents features added to give existing coal units the option to burn natural gas by investing in a coal-to-gas retrofit. Section 5.4.3 describes the comprehensive update of the cost and performance assumptions for activated carbon injection (ACI) for mercury control. Section 5.5 describes the assumptions in v4.10_PTox related to hydrogen chloride (HCl) emission rate and control assumptions. This includes defining the removal rates for existing and new generating units and for wet and dry FGD (section 5.5.3.1). It also involves adding dry sorbent injection (DSI) and fabric filters (sections 5.5.3.2 and 5.5.4 respectively) as retrofit control technologies for HCl removal and developing associated cost and performance assumptions. These changes and additions are presented in full below: ************************************************************************************************************* 5. Emission Control Technologies ● ● ● 5.3 Coal-to-Gas conversions2 In EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox existing coal plants are given the option to burn natural gas in addition to coal by investing in a coal-to-gas retrofit. There are two components of cost in this option: Boiler modification costs and the cost of extending natural gas lateral pipeline spurs from the boiler to a natural gas main transmission line. These two components of cost and their associated performance implications are discussed in the following sections. 5.3.1 Boiler Modifications For Coal-To-Gas Conversions Enabling natural gas firing in a coal boiler typically involves installation of new gas burners and modifications to the ducting, windbox (i.e., the chamber surrounding a burner through which pressurized air is supplied for fuel combustion), and possibly to the heating surfaces used to transfer energy from the exiting hot flue gas to steam (referred to as the “convection pass”). It may also involve modification of environmental equipment. Engineering studies are performed to assess operating characteristics like furnace heat absorption and exit gas temperature; material changes affecting piping and components like superheaters, air (re)heaters, economizers, and recirculating fans; and operational changes to sootblowers, spray flows, air heaters, and emission controls. The following table summarizes the cost and performance assumptions for such boiler modifications as incorporated in Base Case v4.10_PTox. The values in the table were developed by EPA’s engineering staff based on technical papers3 and discussions with industry engineers familiar with such projects. They were designed to be applicable across the existing coal fleet.

2 As discussed here coal-to-gas conversion refers to the modification of an existing boiler to allow it to fire natural gas. It does not refer to the addition of a gas turbine to an existing boiler cycle, the replacement of a coal boiler with a new natural gas combined cycle plant, or to the gasification of coal for use in a natural gas combustion turbine. 3 For an example see Babcock and Wilcox’s White Paper MS-14 “Natural Gas Conversions of Exiting Coal-Fired Boilers” 2010 (www.babcock.com/library/tech-utility.html#14).

Table 5-11 Cost and Performance Assumptions for Coal-to-Gas Retrofits

Factor Description Notes Applicability: Existing pulverized coal (PC)

fired and cyclone boiler units of a size greater than 25 MW:

Not applicable for fluidized bed combustion (FBC) and stoker boilers.

Capacity Penalty: None The furnace of a boiler designed to burn coal is oversized for natural gas, and coal boilers include equipment, such as coal mills, that are not needed for gas. As a result, burning gas should have no impact on net power output.

Heat Rate Penalty:

+ 5% When gas is combusted instead of coal, the stack temperature is lower and the moisture loss to stack is higher. This reduces efficiency, which is reflected in an increase in the heat rate.

Incremental Capital Cost:

PC units: $/kW = 250*(75/MW)^0.35 Cyclone units: $/kW = 350*(75/MW)^0.35

The cost function covers new gas burners and piping, windbox modifications, air heater upgrades, gas recirculating fans, and control system modifications. Example for 50 MW PC unit: $/kW = 250*(75/50)^0.35 = 288

Incremental Fixed O&M:

-(0.33)*31.1*(75/MW)^0.1 Due to reduced needs for operators, maintenance materials, and maintenance staff when natural gas combusted, FOM costs decrease by 33%.

Incremental Variable O&M:

= (0.25)*1.74*(75/MW)^0.2 Due to reduced waste disposal and miscellaneous other costs, VOM costs decrease by 25%.

Fuel Cost: Natural gas To obtain natural gas the unit incurs the cost of extending lateral pipeline spurs from the boiler to the local transmission mainline. See section 5.3.2.

NOx emission rate:

50% of existing coal unit NOx emission rate, with a floor of 0.05 lbs/MMBtu

The 0.05 lbs/MMBtu floor is the same as the NOx rate floor for new retrofit SCR on units burning subbituminous coal

SO2 emissions: Zero 5.3.2 Natural Gas Pipeline Requirements For Coal-To-Gas Conversions For every individual coal boiler in the U.S., EPA tasked the gas team at ICF International to

determine the miles and associated cost of extending pipeline laterals from each boiler to the interstate natural gas pipeline system. To develop these costs the following principles were applied:

• For each boiler, gas volume was estimated based on size and heat rate. • Direct distance to the closest pipeline was calculated. (The analysis only considered

mainlines with diameters that were 16 inches or greater. The lateral distance represented the shortest distance – “as the crow flies” – between the boiler and the mainline.)

• Gas volume (per day) of the initial lateral was not allowed to exceed more than 10 percent of the estimated capacity of the mainline.

• The mainline capacities were estimated from the pipe’s diameter using the Weymouth equation4.

• If the gas requirement exceeded 10 percent of the estimated capacity of the mainline, the cost of a second lateral to connect to the next closest mainline was calculated.

• This procedure was repeated until the entire capacity required for the boiler was reached.

• Diameters of each lateral were then calculated using the Weymouth equation based on their required capacities.

• The cost of all the laterals was calculated based on the pipeline diameter and mileage required. Thus, the final pipeline cost for each boiler was based on the total miles of laterals required.

Figure 5-1 shows the calculations performed. Figure 5-1 Calculations Performed in Costing Lateral Pipeline Requirement

Mainline Flow Capacity, Qm (million cubic feet per day) Qm = 0.06745 * d 2.667, where d is the diameter of the mainline in inches Required Capacity of Lateral/s for Each Boiler, Ql (million cubic feet per day) Ql = (Boiler Capacity * Heat Rate *24) / 1,030,000, where Boiler Capacity is in MW and the Heat Rate is in Btu/kWh Diameter of Each Lateral, D (inches) D = (14.83 * Ql) 0.37495, where each lateral’s capacity may not exceed 10% of the mainline capacity to which the lateral connects Cost per Lateral, C ($) C = 60,000 *D * Number of Miles

Note: The above calculations assume a pipeline cost of $60,000 per inch-mile based on recently completed projects.

There are several points to note about the approach. First, for relatively large boilers or in cases where the closest mainline has a relatively small diameter, multiple laterals are required to connect the boiler to the interstate gas transmission grid. This assures that each individual boiler will not become a relatively large portion of a pipelines’ transmission capacity. It also reflects real-world practices where larger gas-fired power plants typically have multiple laterals connecting them to different mainlines. This increases the reliability of their gas supply and provides multiple options for gas purchase allowing them to capture favorable prices from multiple sources of gas supply at different points in time. Second, expansion of mainlines was not included in the boiler specific pipeline cost, because the integrated gas model within IPM already includes corridor expansion capabilities. However, if in future IPM runs, multiple converted boilers are concentrated on a single pipeline along a corridor that includes multiple pipelines, a further assessment may be required to make sure that the mainline expansion is not being understated due to modeled efficiencies that may not actually be available in the field. Figures 5-2 through 5-7 summarize the results of the pipeline costing procedure described above. They provide histograms of the number of laterals required per boiler (Figure 5-2), miles of pipeline required per boiler (Figure 5-3), diameters of the laterals in inches (Figure 5-4), total inch-miles of laterals required per boiler (Figure 5-5), total cost to each boiler in million$ (Figure 5-6), and cost (in $) per kW of boiler capacity (Figure 5-7). Table 5-12 gives a consolidated overview of the information in these figures by showing the minimum, maximum, average, and median values that appear in the figures. Table 5-13 (“Cost of Building Pipelines to Coal Plants”) shows the pipeline costing results for each qualifying existing coal fired unit represented in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox.  Figure 5‐2

● ● ● 5.4.3 Mercury Control Capabilities EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox offers two options for meeting mercury reduction requirements: (1) combinations of SO2, NOX, and particulate controls which deliver mercury reductions as a co-benefit and (2) Activated Carbon Injection (ACI), a retrofit option specifically designed for mercury control. These two options are discussed below. Mercury Control through SO2 and NOX Retrofits In EPA Base Case v4.10, units that install SO2, NOX, and particulate controls, reduce mercury emissions as a byproduct of these retrofits. Section 5.4.2 described how EMFs are used in the base case to capture the unregulated mercury emissions depending on the rank of coal burned, the generating unit’s combustion characteristics, and the specific configuration of SO2, NOX, and particulate controls (i.e., hot and cold-side electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), fabric filters (also called “baghouses”) and particulate matter (PM) scrubbers). These same EMFs would be available in mercury policy runs to characterize the mercury reductions that can be achieved by retrofitting a unit with SCR, SO2 scrubbers and particulate controls. The absence of a federal mercury emission reduction policy means that these controls appear in the base case in response to SO2, NOX, or particulate limits or state-level mercury emission requirements. However, in future model runs where mercury limits are present these same SO2 and NOX controls could be deliberately installed for mercury control if they provide the least cost option for meeting mercury policy limits. Activated Carbon Injection (ACI) The technology specifically designated for mercury control is Activated Carbon Injection (ACI) downstream of the combustion process in coal fired units. In preparation for performing modeling of air toxics, a comprehensive update of ACI cost and performance assumptions was undertaken by Sargent & Lundy, the same engineering firm that developed the SO2 and NOX control assumptions used in EPA Base Case v4.10. The ACI update, whose elements are described below, incorporates the latest field experience through 2010. Assuming a target of 90% removal from the level of mercury in the coal, three alternative ACI options were identified as providing the required rate of removal for all possible configurations of boiler, emission controls, and coal types used in the U.S. electric power sector. The three ACI options differed based on the type of particulate control device − electrostatic precipitator (ESP) or pre-existing or new fabric filter (also called a “baghouse”), i.e.,

• ACI with Existing ESP • ACI with Existing Baghouse • ACI with an Additional Full Baghouse (also referred to as Toxecon)

All three configurations assume the use of brominated ACI, where a small amount of bromine is chemically bonded to the powdered carbon which is injected into the flue gas stream. The use of brominated ACI exploits the discovery that by converting elemental mercury to oxidized mercury, halogens (like chlorine, iodine, and bromine) can make activated carbon more effective in capturing the mercury at the high temperatures found in industrial processes like power generation. The ionic mercury adheres to the activated carbon (and to fly ash and unburned carbon in the fuel gas) which can be removed efficiently from the flue gas by the

77

particulate control device (ESP or fabric filter). In the third option listed above the additional baghouse is installed downstream of the pre-existing particulate matter device and the activated carbon is injected after the existing controls. This configuration allows the fly ash to be removed before the mercury controls to preserve its marketability. The applicable ACI option depends on the coal type burned, its SO2 content, the boiler and particulate control type and, in some instances, consideration of whether an SO2 scrubber (FGD) system and SCR NOx post-combustion control are present. Table 5-16 shows the ACI assignment scheme used in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox to achieve 90% mercury removal.

Methodology for Obtaining ACI Control Costs: For ACI systems the carbon feed rate dictates the size of the equipment and resulting costs. The feed rate in turn is a function of the required removal (in this case 90%) and the type of particulate control device. Engineering experience had established that a carbon feed rate of 5 pounds of carbon injected for every 1,000,000 actual cubic feet per minute (acfm) of flue gas would provide the stipulated 90% mercury removal rate for units shown in Table 5-16 as qualifying for ACI systems with existing ESP. For generating units with fabric filters a 2 pound per million acfm is required. Alternative sets of costs were developed for each of the three ACI options: ACI systems for units with existing ESPs, ACI for units with existing fabric filters (baghouses), and the combined cost of ACI plus an additional baghouse for units that either have no existing particulate control or that require ACI plus a baghouse in addition to their existing particulate control. There are various reasons that a combined ACI plus additional baghouse would be required. These include situations where the existing ESP cannot handle the additional particulate load associate with the ACI or where SO3 injection is currently in use to condition the flue gas for the ESP. Another cause for combined ACI and baghouse is use of PRB coal whose combustion produces mostly elemental mercury, not ionic mercury, due to this coal’s low chlorine content. Capital Cost: Included in the installed capital cost of ACI are

• All equipment • Installation • Buildings • Foundations • Electrical

If an additional baghouse is required in combination with the ACI, specific installed capital costs include

• Duct work • Foundations • Structural steel • Induced draft (ID) fan modifications or new booster fans • Electrical modifications

For the combined ACI and fabric filter option a full size baghouse with an air-to-cloth (A/C) ratio of 4.0 is assumed, not a polishing baghouse with a 6.0 A/C ratio5. Table 5-17 shows the capital cost modules and the governing variables for ACI systems.

5 The “air-to-cloth” (A/C) ratio is the volumetric flow, (typically expressed in Actual Cubic Feet per Minute, ACFM) of flue gas entering the baghouse divided by the areas (typically in square feet) of fabric filter cloth in the baghouse. The lower the A/C ratio, e.g., A/C = 4.0 compared to A/C = 6.0, the greater area of the cloth required and the higher the cost for a given volumetric flow.

A bare installed total cost is calculated from the carbon feed rate based on the required removal rate, the particulate control, and the flue gas flow rate. The resulting bare installed total cost is increased by 15% to account for additional engineering and construction management costs, labor premiums, and contractor profits and fees. The resulting value is the capital, engineering, and construction cost (CECC) subtotal. To obtain the total project cost (TPC), the CECC subtotal is increased by 5% to account for owner’s home office costs, i.e., owner’s engineering, management, and procurement costs. Since ACI systems are expected to be completed in less than a year, no Allowance for Funds used During Construction (AFUDC) is provided for ACI systems by themselves. However, if combined with an additional baghouse, 6% is added to account for Allowance for Funds used During Construction (AFUDC) which is premised on a 2-year project duration for the baghouse.

The cost resulting from these calculations is the capital cost factor (expressed in $/kW) that is used in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox. Variable Operating and Maintenance Costs (VOM): These are the costs incurred in running an emission control device. They are proportional to the electrical energy produced and are expressed in units of $ per MWh. For ACI, Sargent & Lundy identified three components of VOM: (a) reagent use and unit costs, (b) waste production and disposal cost, (c) cost of additional power required to run the DSI control (often called the “parasitic load”). For the ACI in combination with fabric filter option, the VOM includes a fourth component: (d) the cost of filter bag and cage replacement. (With an assumption that the A/C ratio = 6.0, the bag and cage replacement cycles are 3 and 9 years respectively.) For ACI carbon usage is a function of unit size and heat rate. The carbon waste production is equal to the carbon feed rate. To provide a conservative estimate, the costing analysis assumed that the carbon is captured in the same particulate collector as the fly ash, making it

85

necessary for both the total fly ash and the carbon to be landfilled. Typical ash contents for each fuel were used to calculate a total fly ash production rate. For purposes of modeling, the total VOM includes cost components (a), (b), and, where applicable, (d) as noted above. Component (c) – cost of additional power for the ACI system – is factored into IPM, not in the VOM value, but through capacity and heat rate penalties as described in the next paragraph. Capacity and Heat Rate Penalty: The amount of electrical power required to operate the ACI system is represented through a reduction in the amount of electricity that is available for sale to the grid. For example in the option of a combined ACI system with an additional baghouse, if 0.65% of the unit’s electrical generation is needed to operate the combined system, the generating unit’s capacity is reduced by 0.65%. This is the “capacity penalty.” At the same time, to capture the total fuel used in generation both for sale to the grid and for internal load (i.e., for operating the ACI device), the unit’s heat rate is scaled up such that a comparable reduction (0.65% in the previous example) in the new higher heat rate yields the original heat rate. The factor used to scale up the original heat rate is called “heat rate penalty.” It is a modeling procedure only and does not represent an increase in the unit’s actual heat rate (i.e., a decrease in the unit’s generation efficiency). As was the case for FGD in EPA Base Case v4.10, specific ACI heat rate and capacity penalties are calculated for each installation. For ACI, the site specific calculations take into account the additional power required for blowers for the injection system and, where an additional fabric filter is present, the power for the baghouse compressors. Fixed Operating and Maintenance Costs (FOM): These are the annual costs of maintaining a unit. They represent expenses incurred regardless of the extent to which the emission control system is run. They are expressed in units of $ per kW per year. In calculating FOM Sargent & Lundy took into account labor and materials costs associated with operations, maintenance, and administrative functions. The following assumptions were made:

• FOM for operations is based on the number of addition operators needed. For ACI one (1) additional operator is assumed to be needed. • FOM for maintenance is a direct function of the ACI capital cost. • FOM for administration is a function of the FOM for operations and maintenance.

Table 5-18 presents the capital, VOM, and FOM costs as well as the capacity and heat rate penalties for the three ACI options represented in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox (Proposed Toxics Rule). For each ACI option values are shown for an illustrative set of generating units with a representative range of capacities and heat rates. Tables 1-3 in Appendix 5-3 contains illustration worksheets of the detailed calculations performed to obtain the capital, VOM, and FOM costs for examples of the three ACI options described in this section. The worksheets were developed by Sargent & Lundy6.

5.5 Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Control Technologies Consistent with other analysis performed for the Toxics Rule, hydrogen chloride (HCl) is used in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox (Proposed Toxics Rule) as a surrogate for the acid gas hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). (See Toxics Rule preamble for a discussion of this topic.) The following sections describe how HCl emissions from coal are represented in IPM, the emission control technologies available for HCl removal, and the cost and performance characteristics of these technologies. 5.5.1 Chlorine Content of Fuels HCl emissions from the power sector result from the chlorine content of the coal that is combusted by electric generating units. Data on chlorine content of coals had been collected as part EPA’s 1999 “Information Collection Request for Electric Utility Steam Generating Unit Mercury Emissions Information Collection Effort” (ICR 1999) described above in section 5.4.1 To provide the capability for EPA Base Case v4.10 to account for HCl emissions, this data had to be incorporated into the model. The procedures used for this are presented in the updated text in section 9.1.3 below. 5.5.2 HCl Removal Rate Assumptions for Existing and Potential Units SO2 emission controls on existing and new (potential) units provide the HCl reductions indicated in Table 5-19. New supercritical pulverized coal units (column 3) that the model builds include FGD (wet or dry) which is assumed to provide a 99% removal rates for HCl. For existing conventional pulverized coal units with pre-existing FGD (column 5), the HCl removal rate is 5% higher than the reported SO2 removal rate up to a maximum of 99% removal. In addition, for fluidized bed combustion units (column 4) with no FGD and no fabric filter, the HCl removal rate is the same as the SO2 removal rate up to a maximum of 95%. FBCs with fabric filters have an HCl removal rate of 95%. When policies for controlling toxics emissions are modeled, it is assumed prior to performing a model run that the most cost effective default option for existing coal steam units with FGD would be to upgrade their FGDs to obtain at least 90% SO2 removal and 99% HCl removal and then let the model determine if any further reductions are needed. The cost of the FGD Upgrade Adjustment, as it is called, is assumed to be $100/kW (in 2009$). It is applied in the model as an FOM cost adder7.

7 The FGD Upgrade Adjustment is applied in the model as a FOM cost adder, where

FOM Adder = FGD Upgrade Adjustment X Capital Charge Rate = $100/kW ($2009) X 11.3% = $11.30/kW-yr ($2009)

5.5.3.2 Dry Sorbent Injection Besides HCl reductions obtained from FGD, EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox includes dry sorbent injection (DSI), not previously included in the base case, as a retrofit option for achieving (in combination with a particulate control device) both SO2 and HCl removal. In DSI for HCl reduction, a dry sorbent is injected into the flue gas duct where it reacts with the HCl and SO2 in the flue gas to form a compound, which is then captured in a downstream fabric filter or electrostatic precipitator (ESP) and disposed of as waste. (A sorbent is a material that takes up another substance by either adsorption on its surface or absorption internally or in solution. A sorbent may also chemically react with another substance.) The sorbent assumed in the cost and performance characterization discussed in this section is trona, a sodium-rich material with major underground deposits found in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Trona is typically delivered with an average particle size of 30 µm diameter, but can be reduced to about 15 µm through onsite in-line milling to increase its surface area and capture capability. Removal rate assumptions: The removal rate assumptions for DSI are summarized in Table 5-21. The assumptions shown in the last two columns of Table 5-21 were derived from assessments by EPA engineering staff in consultation with Sargent & Lundy. As indicated in this table, the assumed SO2 removal rate for DSI + ESP is 50% and for DSI + fabric filter is 70%. The assumed HCl removal rate is 60% for DSI + ESP and 90% for DSI + fabric filter. (This is noted in the next-to-the-last column in Table 5-21.) Although the option to retrofit DSI on existing units with ESP is shown in Table 5-21 it was not offered in the runs performed for the current rulemaking. Methodology for Obtaining DSI Control Costs: The engineering firm of Sargent & Lundy, whose analyses were used to update the cost of SO2 and post-combustion NOx controls in EPA Base Case , v4.10, performed similar engineering assessments of the cost of DSI retrofits with two alternative, associated particulate control devices, i.e., ESP and fabric filter (also called a “baghouse”). Their analysis of DSI noted that the cost drivers of DSI are quite different from those of wet or dry FGD. Whereas plant size and coal sulfur rates are key underlying determinants of FGD cost, sorbent feed rate and fly ash waste handling are the main drivers of the capital cost of DSI with plant size and coal sulfur rates playing a secondary role. Sorbent feed rate determines the amount of sorbent required and the size and extensiveness of the DSI installation. The sorbent feed rate needed to achieve a specified percent SO2 or HCl removal8 is firstly a function of the flue gas SO2 rate (which, in turn, is a function of the sulfur content of the coal burned, expressed in lbs of SO2/mmBtu ), the unit’s size and heat rate, and the sorbent particle size (which determines whether in-line milling is needed). The sorbent feed rate is also a function of the residence time of the sorbent in the flue gas stream and the extent of mixing and penetration of the sorbent in the flue gas. Residence time, penetration, and mixing are largely dependent on the type of particulate control device use (electrostatic precipitator or fabric filter).

8 For purposes of engineering calculations the percent removal is often translated into a corresponding “Normalized Stoichiometric Ratio” (NSR) associated with a particular percent removal, where the NSR is defined as

92

In EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox the DSI sorbent feed rate and variable O&M costs are based on assumptions that a fabric filter and in-line trona milling are used, and that the SO2 removal rate is 60%. The corresponding HCl removal effect is assumed to be 90%, based on information from Solvay Chemicals (H. Davidson, Dry Sorbent Injection for Multi-pollutant Control Case Study, CIBO IECT VIII, August, 2010). The cost of fly ash waste handling, the other key contributor to DSI cost, is a function of the type of particulate capture device and the flue gas SO2 rate (which, as noted above, is itself a function of the sulfur content of the coal and the unit’s size and heat rate). Fly ash waste handling costs are also a function of the ash content and the higher heating value (HHV) of the coal. The governing variables of the key capital cost components of DSI are presented in Table 5-22. Table 5‐22.  Capital Cost Components and Their Governing Variables for HCl Removal with DSI.

Once the key variables for the two DSI modules are identified, they are used to derive costs for each base module component. These costs are then summed to obtain total bare module costs. The base installed cost for DSI includes

• All equipment • Installation • Buildings • Foundations • Electrical • Average retrofit difficulty • In-line milling equipment is assumed to be included

This total is increased by 15% to account for additional engineering and construction management costs, labor premiums, and contractor profits and fees. The resulting value is the capital, engineering, and construction cost (CECC) subtotal. To obtain the total project cost (TPC), the CECC subtotal is increased by 5% to account for owner’s home office costs, i.e., owner’s engineering, management, and procurement costs. Since DSI installations are

expected to be completed in less than a year, no Allowance for Funds used During Construction (AFUDC) is provided for DSI. The cost resulting from these calculations is the capital cost factor (expressed in $/kW) that is used in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox. Variable Operating and Maintenance Costs (VOM): These are the costs incurred in running an emission control device. They are proportional to the electrical energy produced and are expressed in units of $ per MWh. For DSI, Sargent & Lundy identified three components of VOM: (a) costs for sorbent usage, (b) costs associated with waste production and disposal, (c) cost of additional power required to run the DSI control (often called the “parasitic load”). For DSI, sorbent usage is a function of the “Normalized Stoichiometric Ratio” and SO2 feed rate. As noted above the feed rate is a function of the SO2 rate of the coal and the unit’s size and heat rate. Total waste production involves the production of both reacted and unreacted sorbent and fly ash. Sorbent waste is a function of the sorbent feed rate with an adjustment for excess sorbent feed. Use of DSI makes the fly ash unsalable, which means that any fly ash produced must be landfilled along with the reacted and unreacted sorbent waste. Typical ash contents for each fuel are used to calculate a total fly ash production rate. The fly ash production is added to the sorbent waste to account for the total waste stream for the VOM analysis. For purposes of modeling, the total VOM includes the first two component costs noted in the previous paragraph, i.e., the costs for sorbent usage and the costs associated with waste production and disposal,. The last component – cost of additional power – is factored into IPM, not in the VOM value, but through a capacity and heat rate penalty as described in the next paragraph. Capacity and Heat Rate Penalty: The amount of electrical power required to operate the DSI is represented through a reduction in the amount of electricity that is available for sale to the grid. For example, if 0.65% of the unit’s electrical generation is needed to operate DSI, the generating unit’s capacity is reduced by 0.65%. This is the “capacity penalty.” At the same time, to capture the total fuel used in generation both for sale to the grid and for internal load (i.e., for operating the DSI device), the unit’s heat rate is scaled up such that a comparable reduction (0.65% in the previous example) in the new higher heat rate yields the original heat rate. The factor used to scale up the original heat rate is called “heat rate penalty.” It is a modeling procedure only and does not represent an increase in the unit’s actual heat rate (i.e., a decrease in the unit’s generation efficiency). As was the case for FGD in EPA Base Case v4.10, specific DSI heat rate and capacity penalties are calculated for each installation. For DSI the installation specific calculations take into account the additional power required by air blowers for the injection system, drying equipment for the transport air, and in-line milling equipment, if required. Fixed Operating and Maintenance Costs (FOM): These are the annual costs of maintaining an emission control. They represent expenses incurred regardless of the extent to which the emission control system is run. They are expressed in units of $ per kW per year. In calculating FOM Sargent & Lundy took into account labor and materials costs associated with operations, maintenance, and administrative functions. The following assumptions were made:

• FOM for operations is based on the number of operators needed which is a function of

94

the size (i.e., MW capacity) of the generating unit. In general for DSI two (2) additional operators are assumed to be needed. • FOM for maintenance is a direct function of the DSI capital cost. • FOM for administration is a function of the FOM for operations and maintenance.

Table 5-23 presents the capital, VOM, and FOM costs as well as the capacity and heat rate penalties of a DSI retrofit for an illustrative and representative set of generating units with the capacities and heat rates indicated.

5.5.4 Fabric Filter (Baghouse) Cost Development Fabric filters are not endogenously modeled as a separate retrofit option in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox, but are accounted for as a cost adder where they are required for particulate matter (PM), mercury, or HCl emission control. In EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox, an existing or new fabric filter particulate control device is a pre-condition for installing a DSI retrofit. In the v4.10_PTox policy case any unit that was retrofit by the model with DSI and did not have an existing fabric filter incurred the cost of installing a fabric filter. This cost was added to the DSI costs discussed in section 5.5.3.2. This section describes the methodology used by Sargent & Lundy to derive the cost of a fabric filter. The engineering cost analysis is based on a pulse-jet fabric filter which collects particulate matter on a fabric bag and uses air pulses to dislodge the particulate from the bag surface and collect it in hoppers for removal via an ash handling system to a silo. This is a mature technology that has been operating commercially for more than 25 years. “Baghouse” and “fabric filters” are used interchangeably to refer to such installations. Capital Cost: Two governing variables are used to derive the bare module capital cost of a fabric filter. The first of these is the “air-to-cloth” (A/C) ratio. The major driver of fabric filter capital cost, the A/C ratio is defined as the volumetric flow, (typically expressed in Actual Cubic Feet per Minute, ACFM) of flue gas entering the baghouse divided by the areas (typically in square feet) of fabric filter cloth in the baghouse. The lower the A/C ratio, e.g., A/C = 4.0 compared to A/C = 6.0, the greater the area of the cloth required and the higher the cost for a given volumetric flow. The other determinant of capital cost is the flue gas volumetric flow rate (in ACFM) which is a function of the type of coal burned and the unit’s size and heat rate. The capital cost for fabric filters include:

• Duct work modifications, • Foundations, • Structural steel, • Induced draft (ID) fan modifications or new booster fans, and • Electrical modifications.

After the bare installed total capital cost is calculated, it is increased by 20% to account for additional engineering and construction management costs, labor premiums, and contractor profits and fees. The resulting value is the capital, engineering, and construction cost (CECC) subtotal. To obtain the total project cost (TPC), the CECC subtotal is increased by 5% to account for owner’s home office costs, i.e., owner’s engineering, management, and procurement costs, and by another 6% to account for Allowance for Funds used During Construction (AFUDC) which is premised on a 2-year project duration. The cost resulting from these calculations is the capital cost factor (expressed in $/kW). Fabric filter capital costs are implemented in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox as an FOM adder. Plants that install fabric filters incur a total FOM charge which includes the true FOM associated with the fabric filter plus a capital cost FOM Adder derived by multiplying the capital cost by a capital

97

charge rate of 11.3%, i.e., Total FOM = True FOM + Capital Cost FOM Adder

where the FOM Adder = Capital Cost X Capital Charge Rate = Capital Cost X 11.3% In EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox the capital cost of a fabric filter is based on the use of a “polishing” fabric filter designed with A/C=6.0. This basis results in a capital cost that is at least 10% less than the cost of a design with A/C=4.0, and assumes that the existing ESP remains in place and active. Variable Operating and Maintenance Costs (VOM): For fabric filters the VOM is strictly a function of the costs of the fabric filter bag and cage translated in a $/MWhr cost based on the filter and bag replacement cycle for a specified A/C ratio. For units whose A/C ratio = 6.0, the replacement cycle for the bag is 3 years and the cage is 9 years, whereas for units whose A/C ratio = 4.0, the bag and cage replacement cycles are 5 and 10 years respectively. Capacity and Heat Rate Penalty: Conceptually, the capacity and heat rate penalties for fabric filters represent the amount of electrical power required to operate the baghouse and are calculated by the same procedure used when calculating the capacity and heat rate penalty for DSI as described in section 5.5.3.2. The resulting capacity and heat rate penalties are both 0.6%. However, since fabric filters were not endogenously modeled as a retrofit option, but simply added to the DSI costs for generating units that do not have an existing baghouse, the capacity and heat rate penalties described here were not factored into the representation of fabric filters in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox. Fixed Operating and Maintenance Costs (FOM): Sargent & Lundy’s engineering analysis indicated that no additional operations staff would be required for a baghouse. Consequently the FOM strictly includes two components:

• FOM for maintenance is a direct function of the DSI capital cost. • FOM for administration is a function of the FOM for operations (which is zero) and maintenance.

Table 5-24 presents the capital, VOM, and FOM costs for fabric filters as represented in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox for an illustrative set of generating units with a representative range of capacities and heat rates. Worksheets illustrating the detailed calculations performed to obtain the capital, VOM, and FOM costs for two example fabric filters (A/C Ratio = 4.0 and A/C Ratio = 6.0) appear in Appendix 5-5. The worksheets were developed by Sargent & Lundy10.

Notes on Implementation                             1. Plant specific fabric filter capital costs shown in this table are implemented in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox as an FOM adder. Plants that install fabric filters incur a total FOM charge which includes the true FOM component shown in the above table plus a capital cost FOM Adder derived by multiplying the capital cost in the table above by a capital charge rate 11.3%, i.e., Total FOM = True FOM + Capital Cost FOM Adder where the FOM Adder = Capital Cost X Capital Charge Rate = Capital Cost X 11.3%. Plants that install fabric filters also incur the additional VOM costs shown in the above table. 2. Since the fabric filter costs were not endogenously modeled as a retrofit option, the capacity and heat rate penalties shown in the above table were not represented in the model.

Documentation Supplement to Chapter 9 (“Coal”) To allow HCl emissions to be modeled, the chlorine content of the coal offered to electric generating units in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox had to be represented in the model. This involved adding data on coal chlorine content and then re-running the clustering set-up procedure, which makes the coal quality data usable in the model. The following discussion will refer to the HCl emission rate (in lbs/MMBtu) of the coal and the chlorine content of the coal interchangeably. The HCl emission rate is obtained by multiplying the chlorine content of the coal by a factor of 1.03. This is an alternate way of expressing chlorine content and is consistent with using an SO2 emission rate (in lbs/MMBtu) to express the sulfur content of the coal. For EPA Base Case v4.10 the clustering procedure was performed on SO2 and mercury data only. For Base Case v4.10_PTox it had to be performed jointly on the SO2, mercury, and HCl data. The addition of HCl data and the consequent re-clustering are reflected in complete updates of Tables 9-5 through 9-9 and the addition of a new table for HCl equivalent to Tables 9-6 through 9-9. These tables show the SO2, mercury, ash, HCl, and CO2 emission factors that result after the clustering procedure is performed. The enhancements made to accommodate the HCl data in the model are documented below in the form of a mark-up of sections 9.1.3 (“Coal Quality Characteristics”) and 9.1.4 (“Emission Factors”) of the v4.10 documentation report “Documentation for EPA Base Case v4.10 Using the Integrated Planning Model” (August 2010). Substantive changes to the original text are shown in red, boldface italics. Revised Tables 9-5 through 9-9 and the new HCl emission factor Table 9-10 are shown without special highlighting. Note: For EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox the only coal assumptions and procedures which changed are those presented in sections 9.1.3 and 9.1.4 below. The other unchanged sections of Chapter 9 can be found at www.epa.gov/airmarkets/progsregs/epa-ipm/docs/v410/Chapter9.pdf. ************************************************************************************************************* 9 Coal ● ● ● 9.1.3 Coal Quality Characteristics Coal varies by heat content, SO2 content, HCl content, and mercury content among other characteristics. To capture differences in the sulfur and heat content of coal, a two letter “coal grade” nomenclature is used. The first letter indicates the “coal rank” (bituminous, sub-bituminous, or lignite) with their associated heat content ranges (as shown in Table 9-3). The second letter indicates their “sulfur grade,” i.e., the SO2 ranges associated with a given type of coal. (The sulfur grades and associated SO2 ranges are shown in Table 9-4.)

The assumptions in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox regarding the heat, HCl, mercury, SO2, and ash content of coal are derived from EPA’s “Information Collection Request for Electric Utility Steam Generating Unit Mercury Emissions Information Collection Effort” (ICR)11. A two-year effort initiated in 1998 and completed in 2000, the ICR had three main components: (1) identifying all coal-fired units owned and operated by publicly-owned utility companies, Federal power agencies, rural electric cooperatives, and investor-owned utility generating companies, (2) obtaining “accurate information on the amount of mercury contained in the as-fired coal used by each electric utility steam generating unit… with a capacity greater than 25 megawatts electric, as well as accurate information on the total amount of coal burned by each such unit,”, and (3) obtaining data by coal sampling and stack testing at selected units to characterize mercury reductions from representative unit configurations. Data regarding the SO2, chlorine, and ash content of the coal used were obtained along with mercury content. The 1998-2000 ICR resulted in more than 40,000 data points indicating the coal type, sulfur content, mercury content, ash content, chlorine content, and other characteristics of coal burned at coal-fired utility units greater than 25 MW. 9.1.4 Emission Factors To make this data usable in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox, the ICR data points were first grouped by IPM coal grades and IPM coal supply regions. Using the grouped ICR data, the average heat, SO2, mercury, HCl, and ash content were calculated for each coal grade/supply region combination. In instances where no data were available for a particular coal grade in a specific supply region, the national average SO2, HCl, and mercury values for the coal grade were used as the region’s values. The resulting values are shown in Table 9-5.

11 Data from the ICR can be found at www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/combust/utiltox/mercury.html.

Next, a clustering algorithm was used to further aggregate the data in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox, for model size management purposes. The clustering analysis was performed on the mercury, HCl, and SO2 data shown in Table 9-5 using the SAS statistical software package. Clustering analysis places objects into groups or clusters, such that data in a given cluster tend to be similar to each other and dissimilar to data in other clusters. The clustering analysis involved two steps. (In the following write-up BG coal is used to illustrate how the procedure worked.) First, the number of clusters of mercury, HCl, and SO2 concentrations for each IPM coal type was determined based on the range in average mercury, HCl, and SO2 concentrations across all coal supply regions for a specific coal type. In EPA Base Case v4.10 each coal type used either one or two clusters. After adding the HCl data in EPA Base Case v4.10_PTox, three coal grades (BB, BD, and BE) were assigned 6 clusters, another three coal grades (BA, BG, and BH) were assigned 5 clusters, four coal grades (SA, SD, LD, LE) were assigned 2 clusters, and two grades (SB, and LG) were assigned one cluster each. The total number of clusters for each coal grade was limited to keep the model size and run time within feasible limits. (Whereas three clusters were used for BG coal in v4.10, with the addition of HCl as a clustering parameter, five clusters were needed for BG coal in v4.10_PTox.) Second, for each coal grade the clustering procedure was applied to all the regional SO2, HCl, and mercury values shown in Table 9-5 for that coal grade. (In the BG coal example there are 11 such regional SO2, HCl, and mercury values.) Using the SAS cluster procedure, each of the constituent regional values was assigned to a cluster and the cluster average SO2, HCl, and mercury values were recorded. The resulting values are shown in Tables 9-6, 9-7, and Table 9-10. (For BG coal the Cluster #1 average SO2, HCl, and mercury values are 3.79 lbs/MMBtu, 0.092 lbs/MMBtu, and 21.54 lbs/TBtu respectively. The Cluster #2 average SO2, HCl, and mercury values are 4.28 lbs/MMBtu, 0.070 lbs/MMBtu, and 7.60 lbs/TBtu respectively. The Cluster #3 average SO2, HCl, and mercury values are 3.79 lbs/MMBtu, 0.041 lbs/MMBtu, and 11.99 lbs/TBtu respectively. The Cluster #4 average SO2, HCl, and mercury values are 4.84 lbs/MMBtu, 0.133 lbs/MMBtu, and 4.09 lbs/TBtu respectively. The Cluster #5 average SO2, HCl, and mercury values are 3.78 lbs/MMBtu, 0.045 lbs/MMBtu, and 17.59 lbs/TBtu respectively.) Although not used in determining the clusters, ash and CO2 values were calculated for each of the clusters. These values are shown in Table 9-8 and Table 9-9. (The CO2 values were derived from data in the Energy Information Administration’s Annual Energy Outlook 2009 (AEO 2009), not from data collected in the ICR.) IPM input files retain the mapping between different coal grade/supply region combinations and the clusters. The mapping can be seen in the last column of Table 9-5 which shows the cluster number associated with the coal grade/supply region combination indicated in the first and second columns of this table. (For BG coal, the SAS cluster procedure mapped supply region PC into Cluster #1, IL, IN, KW, PW,WN and WS into Cluster #2, KE into Cluster #3, KS into Cluster #4, and MD and OH into Cluster #5.. See Figure 9-2 for an illustration of this mapping.) Table 9-6 to Table 9-10 show the SO2, mercury, ash, CO2, and HCl values that are assigned to coal grades and regions based on this cluster mapping. The values shown in Table 9-6 to Table 9-10 are used in EPA Base Case v4.10 for calculating emissions.
